STEP 3: UNPACKING, MOVING AND
PLACING THE RANGE
CAUTION
PROPER EQUIPMENT AND ADEQUATE MAN-
POWER MUST BE USED IN MOVING THE
RANGE TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE UNIT
OR THE FLOOR. THE UNIT IS HEAVY AND
RESTS ON ADJUSTABLE STEEL LEGS.
DO NOT LIFT THE RANGE BY THE
OVEN DOOR HANDLES!!
The 36
²
range has a shipping weight of approximately
408 pounds or 354 pounds after removal of packing
materials. It is recommended that the door, grates,
burners, front kick panel and drip pan (below knobs), be
removed to facilitate handling. This will reduce the weight
to about 230 pounds.
DO NOT REMOVE THE GRIDDLE
ASSEMBLY
It may be necessary to remove the oven door and knobs
to pass through some doorways. With the doors and
knobs removed a 29-3/8
²
wide opening is required.
Without removing the door, a 30-13/16
²
wide opening is
required. See Figure 3A.

Kick Panel
Remove the outer carton and packing material from the
shipping base. Remove the kick panel (see Figure 5) by
removing two screws at the top and pulling forward. The
range is held to the skid by two bolts in the front behind
the kick panel (see Figure 5) and two L-brackets located
on bottom flange of the range back (see Figure 7). After
removing the bolts and brackets, the range must be lifted
and removed from the skid. Due to the weight, a dolly with
soft wheels should be used to move this unit. The weight
must be supported uniformly across the bottom (see
Figure 6).
